Future of Gocco??

January 30th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Just a quick post since I was poking around on the internet before grabbing my lunch. It looks like getting a Thermofax machine is the best way to keep gocco-ing now that the supplies are cut off? I’ll have to check into this. In any case, Craft Chi has a great tutorial on how to […]

January 29th, 2009 · No Comments

Ugh…I just put the finishing touches on a extra-extra-long Weekly Reader. Saved. Hit Preview. And….it disappeared! Arg, I’m going to bed and will attempt to re-write it tomorrow when it’s a decent hour. *grumblegrumble* Until then, enjoy this:

Attempting to Upgrade to 2.7

January 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Well, I’m back from DC and slowly wading through emails, etc. I’ve got some great things to share from my trip, so I’m also combing through all of the photos I took to see what would be best for each post idea. I hope to post later this week. But first, I thought I’d share […]
